Health Benefits of Corpse Pose (Shavasana)

Shavasana: Sava – Corpse; Asana – Pose

The asana is pronounced as Shuh-vah-sana

Savasana might look like a nap at the end of your yoga practice. But it’s actually a fully conscious pose aimed at being awake, yet completely relaxed. In Savasana—also known as corpse pose— you lie down on your back and relax your body and mind so you may fully assimilate the benefits of your asana practice.
